about

Paul The Kid is our singer / songwriters new solo project. He is based in London. Follow him on socials for new music and live shows!

This is my third single release since moving to London, written around the same time as Quitter and Best Friends with softer vocals as I was living with flatmates and felt nervous about singing loudly.

It's about seeing beyond the veil and into the void... and that being very very unsettling. I had my time in the sun and now I gotta take care of my mind. Once you cross certain lines you can never go back...

Venture safely, friends.

lyrics

Yeah I used to get high
But now I think that I’ll die
Put me to rest with the girls I love best
And cast me off with a smile

It’s like halloween
Kids dressed up as killer queens
I think we see that childhood means everything
Eternity she reaches out for me
Sitting here I’m free
But this meditation’s bugging me
It’s bugging me!
To see who I am
It’s bugging me!
Where do these thoughts live that I have in my head?
You see I took LSD
She kinda funked me up
So now I feel like I’m just making it all up

Yeah I used to get high
But now I think that I’ll die
Put me to rest with the girls I love best
And cast me off with a smile

Throw me away
I never want to be here
Throw me away
Into the deep
Throw me to see
Who the hell am I?
Be carful with your mind
You don’t know what you’ll find
Eh!

It’s like make believe
It hides away inside you and me
Consistencies they fade away like memories
Come round for tea and tell me what’s ya fantasy?
Pornograpghy
I need a hug, it’s bugging me
It’s bugging me
That I have this battle within
It’s bugging me
It’s bugging me that I don’t think I can win
I don’t blame LSD
She said “It’s all in your head”
Well yeah, that’s the problem
It’s all in my head

Have you ever thought that time takes all
And what will you do when you will grow old
Everybody knows that time takes all
And I don’t care no, I rock and roll
I don’t care, no I rock and roll

I don’t care, no I rock and roll
I don’t care, no I rock and roll
I don’t care, no I rock and roll
I don’t care, no I rock and roll
Just be carful with your mind
You don’t know what you’ll find
